Dove season opens Tuesday, September 1 at noon!

As you head out to the hunting field, remember that responsible sportsmanship means knowing your target and what’s beyond it.

Shooting toward power lines or fragile fiber optic lines can cause serious damage, resulting in costly repairs and hours without electricity or internet service for hundreds or even thousands of your neighbors. A stray shot may bag a bird, but it could leave your community in the crosshairs of an outage.

Please be mindful of your surroundings, avoid shooting near electric and fiber lines, and keep safety in mind this hunting season.

Hunt safe. Know your target. Know what’s beyond it.
